Yamaha ditched the 2006 bike for the 2005 evo bike. Why? Because they want to win the championship. Honda do not look that focussed on the championship, which still remains odd to me.
Hayden continues on with a clutch that hasn't worked for most of the year.
"
I had to baby it off the line (in Malaysia) so I didn't cook it," said Hayden. I'm no engineer of friction or clutch plates, but how could an F1 car cope with nearly 980bhp at the end of the 3 litre formula last year, but a 260bhp V5 clutch cannot survive off the line in one go?"
I'd love to see where Hayden would be had he been riding the same spec as Melandri and Pedrosa.
